Local Advance Polls Draw Just Over 10,000

Have you voted yet?

May be a question many are asked on Monday and they can answer yes as the advance polls throughout the province were up 55 percent from 2015.

In Saskatchewan 149,043 cast their ballots during last weekend's advance polls compared to 91,891 in 2015.

In the Moose Jaw - Lake Centre - Lanigan riding the advanced polls garnered 10,181 voters.

Elections Canada attributes part of the reason for the large turnout was the extended advance poll voting hours.

The general federal election is this Monday October 21st.
